Farm diversification into dereliction

Of all the things a farm could diversify into, dereliction is not recommended, especially when leaving machinery and equipment in the buildings.

As always these are buildings that I have driven past many times and for once I stopped and had a look around. Not truly a lot to see apart from the biggest of the barns/buildings that contained a production line and there was paperwork strewn all over the place dating from the 80's and 90's.

It was a good test for the x-pro as I was focusing on dark objects in the dark, not a good combination for focusing. Although it has been said that X-Pro 1 can struggle with focus, even on this occasion I still consider it an excellent performer. This was also the first time I used the 27mm f2.8 lens that I got at the same time as the camera, again its alright; a little soft but definitely usable.

It's me

 



The trusty old Golf waiting for me.

I lost my head and found it

So for my birthday Laura had a cake made for me which included a mini version of me made out of icing. I found the head quite amusing, for one I don't have curly hair!!! but I liked the beard.

I decided to carry the head around with me for a day and photograph it in different places. Im always carrying the X-Pro 1 around much like I did the Fuji X20 before it, so what's a small comedy head taking up extra space in my pocket!?

Look out

When was the last time anyone used one of these???

Stay tuned.
